Q: Do you have an opinion or experience with Republic Wireless?

— Peter Murr

A: I've never used Republic, but the company's service plans are a great value, particularly for those who don't need access to mobile data. For $10 a month, Republic offers unlimited talk and text over its cellular network. Users can still access the Web when they're connected to a Wi-Fi network. The carrier also offers plans of $25 and $40 a month that include cellar-data access. Just as important, Republic carries a great Android smartphone in the Moto X at a reasonable price: $300 without a contract. One negative could be that Republic uses Sprint's network. Sprint doesn't have best coverage in the Denver area and is still in the process of rolling out high-speed 4G LTE service.
